This interests me. Can you send pics? Maybe I should just weld up my own. Sent from my iPhone

I made my own with two flat plates of steel sandwiched between the bumper mounts and the body with a piece of heavy duty 1.5" channel iron running across to each of them for a support for a 2 inch receiver that will be fastened to a plate bolted through the floor when I get a chance to finish it.

I had a euro 123 wagon, small bumpers, and sourced a used euro hitch for it. Euro hitch attaches at bumper points, US-spec cars have different bumper attach points, so euro hitch won't fit unless you also get euro bumpers and convert your car. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD Dimitri Seretakis <dsereta...@yahoo.com> wrote: I want it to look right!

When I was looking for trailer hitches for my daughter's Volvo 240DL wagon, I came across a couple of european style receiver hitches. They are nice in that when you are not towing, the ball is removable and therefore is unable to scape copious amounts of skin from your shins. You can also mount a bike rack or small cargo platform if you desire. I've looked, and I don't seem to be able to find any on-line, although I KNOW that I've seen w123 sedans in Germany with that setup. Best, Jon I agree, a euro hitch would be desirable. Might try fleabay.de, or find a listing of german junkyards. A german equivalent to car-part.com would be nice. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
